BACKGROUND 1. Field

The disclosure relates generally to wireless communication systems, andmore particularly, to methods and systems for managing new radio (NR)communication in an electronic device in the wireless communicationsystems.

2. Description of Related Art

The introduction of NR technology (also referred to as fifth generation(5G) technology or 5G NR technology) may result in changes in mobilenetwork architecture. These changes may result in mobile networkarchitectures supporting multiple radio access technologies (RATs), suchas NR, evolved packet core (EPC), evolved-universal mobiletelecommunication system terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN),global system for mobile communications-evolution RAN (G-ERAN), anduniversal mobile telecommunication system-terrestrial RAN (U-TRAN).Management of electronic device (or user equipment (UE)) connectionswithin these mobile network architectures supporting multiple RATs mayintroduce situations that did not need to be addressed in legacy mobilenetwork architectures.

If the electronic device supports an E-UTRAN NR-dual connectivity(EN-DC) feature, a long term evolution (LTE) RAT bearing network wouldbecome a master cell group (MCG) bearer and the NR RAT bearing networkwould become a secondary cell group (SCG) bearer. The MCG may functionas the anchor cell group band and the electronic device performs initialregistration to the anchor cell group. The anchor cell group may add oneor more secondary cells of the SCG. When configured with the EN-DC, userdata carried by a dedicated radio bearer (DRB) may either be transferredvia MCG, via NR SCG or via both the MCG and the NR SCG. Also, radioresource control (RRC) signalling carried by a signalling radio bearer(SRB) may either be transferred via the MCG or via both the MCG and theNR SCG.

In addition, a base station (or evolved node B (eNB)) may configure anRRC connected electronic device to perform measurements and theelectronic device may report a measurement report in accordance with themeasurement configuration. The base station may configure differenttypes of measurements such as NR measurements and inter-RAT measurementsof E-UTRAN frequencies. Based on receiving a NR measurement report fromthe electronic device, the base station may add an NR SCG for dualconnectivity. The SCG is a radio bearer for additional resources (suchas 5G services) served only by a next generation base station (gNB).However, performing frequent NR measurements and adding NR SCG wouldunnecessarily consume power in the electronic device.

As an example, FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of a conventionalmethod of no data activity or minimal data activity or when mobile datais turned-off or when wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) connection occurs in theelectronic device, while performing NR measurements.

At step 1, the electronic device sends attach request including dualconnectivity with NR supported, to the eNB, and the attach request maybe accepted by the eNB. An Internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem(IMS)—packet data network (PDN) may be established between the eNB andthe electronic device as illustrated in FIG. 1.

At step 2, a voice over LTE (VoLTE) call may be started by theelectronic device using the IMS PDN, based on a user request.Simultaneously, the eNB may transmit configuration informationcorresponding to an event B1-NR, to the electronic device for performingNR measurements, during a VoLTE call and no/minimal data activity. Theevent B1 is for inter-RAT measurements.

At step 3, the electronic device transmits a B1-NR measurement report tothe eNB, and in response, the SCG may be added by the eNB, based on anevent B1-NR, even though no/minimal data activity is observed in theelectronic device. The event B1-NR is for NR RAT measurements. Addingthe SCG which may not be required during no/minimal data activity tendsto cause excessive power consumption in the electronic device.

Similarly, if mobile data is turned-off in the electronic device in FIG.1, steps 1 and 2 are similar as described above when there is mobile/nominimal data activity. At step 3, the electronic device transmits aB1-NR measurement report to the eNB, and in response, the SCG may beadded by the eNB, based on event B1-NR, even though the mobile data isturned off in the electronic device. Adding the SCG which may not berequired during the mobile data turned-off condition of the electronicdevice, tends to cause excessive power consumption in the electronicdevice.

If the electronic device in FIG. 1 is connected to a Wi-Fi network,steps 1 and 2 are similar to those described above in the case ofmobile/no minimal data activity. The electronic device is connected tothe Wi-Fi network, during which time the IMS PDN may not be required. Atstep 3, the electronic device may transmit a B1-NR measurement report tothe eNB, and in response, the SCG may be added by the eNB, based onevent B1-NR, even though the electronic device is connected to the Wi-Finetwork. Adding the SCG which may not be required during the connectionto the Wi-Fi network condition of the electronic device, tends to causeexcessive power consumption in the electronic device.

If the condition of mobile data turned off, no/minimal data activity isobserved, and the Wi-Fi network connection to the electronic device isdetected after adding the SCG, the conventional methods may not releasethe added SCG, even though there is no requirement to retain the SCG.There tends to occur unnecessary power consumption in the electronicdevice to retain the SCG, due to no/minimal data activity/Wi-Finetwork/mobile data being turned off.

FIG. 2A illustrates a conventional method of no/minimal data activity orturned off mobile data or a connection to Wi-Fi is on in the electronicdevice.

At step 202 a, the electronic device sends attach request including dualconnectivity with NR supported, to the MME. Only in case of mobile databeing turned off or the electronic device being connected to Wi-Fi, isthe attach request sent along with a default access point name (APN) asInternet. At step 202 b, the attach request is accepted by the MMEwithout restricting use of dual connectivity. At step 202 c, an internetPDN may be established between the MME and the electronic device. Atstep 202 d, an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS)-PDN may be establishedbetween the MME and the electronic device, even if no/minimal dataactivity is observed in electronic device. In case of mobile data beingturned-off or the electronic device is connected to Wi-Fi, the IMS PDNmay not be established. At step 202 e, the configuration information foran event B1-NR measurement is received from the base station. Ata step202 f, no/minimal data activity or mobile data is turned off or aconnected to Wi-Fi condition in the electronic device is observed. Atstep 202 g, the electronic device performs B1-NR measurements of thenext-generation base station even though the addition of the SCG is notrequired as electronic device is in condition of no/minimal dataactivity or turned-off mobile data or connection to Wi-Fi. At step 202h, the base station adds NR as the SCG based on the B1-NR measurementreport, which tends to cause unnecessary power consumption in theelectronic device.

FIG. 2B illustrates a conventional method in which the SCG is not addedby the base station even after multiple B1-NR measurement reports aresent by the electronic device. At a step 208 a, the RRC is in aconnected state with the base station such as the LTE network. At step208 b, an RRC reconfiguration with an NR measurement object istransmitted by the base station to the electronic device. At steps 208c-208 g, the B1-NR measurement report with the NR cell is transmittedmultiple times by the electronic device to the base station. Even thoughthere is a continuous measurement report containing the NR cell, thebase station does not add the SCG.

FIG. 2C illustrates a conventional method in which there is frequentNR-radio link failure (NR-RLF) due to the transmission power limitationissue in the electronic device. At step 210 a, the RRC is in connectedstate with the LTE network. At step 210 b, RRC reconfiguration with NRmeasurement object is transmitted by the base station to the electronicdevice. At step 210 c, the B1-NR measurement report with NR cell istransmitted by the electronic device to the base station. At step 210 d,RRC reconfiguration with an SCG addition is transmitted by the basestation to the electronic device. Accordingly, at step 210 e, datatransfer between the electronic device and the next-generation basestation is performed.

At step 210 f, the electronic device moves to the LTE cell edge area andthe LTE transmission power is increased by the electronic device. Atstep 210 g, high transmission power in LTE may be provided for VoLTEcontinuity. At step 210 h, the RLF may occur in the NR due to lowtransmission power. As a result, at step 210 i, the LTE is in RRCconnected mode. At step 210 j, RRC reconfiguration with an NRmeasurement object is transmitted by the base station to the electronicdevice. At step 210 k, the B1-NR measurement report with an NR cell istransmitted by the electronic device to the base station. At step 210 l,RRC reconfiguration with the SCG addition is transmitted by the basestation to the electronic device. Accordingly, at step 210 m, datatransfer between the electronic device and the next-generation basestation is performed. At step 210 n, the electronic device moves to theLTE cell edge area and the LTE transmission power is increased by theelectronic device. At step 210 o, high transmission power in LTE may beprovided for VoLTE continuity. At step 210 p, the RLF may occur in theNR due to low transmission power in the NR. Accordingly, there is afrequent NR as the SCG addition occurs and frequent NR RLF in a shortduration, which tends to consume excessive power in the electronicdevice.

FIG. 2D illustrates a conventional method in which there is frequent NRradio link failure (NR-RLF) due to the NR cell edge area of theelectronic device. At step 212 a, the RRC is in the connected state withthe LTE network. At step 212 b, RRC reconfiguration with NR measurementobject is transmitted by the base station to the electronic device. Atstep 212 c, the B1-NR measurement report with NR cell is transmitted bythe electronic device to the base station. At step 212 d, RRCreconfiguration with SCG addition is transmitted by the base station tothe electronic device. Accordingly, at step 212 e, data transfer betweenthe electronic device and the next generation base station is performed.

At step 212 f, the electronic device moves to NR cell edge area. At step212 g, due to a poor NR RLF signal, the NR RLF may occur. As a result,at step 212 h, the RRC reconfiguration with NR measurement object istransmitted by the base station to the electronic device. At step 212 i,the B1-NR measurement report with NR cell is transmitted by theelectronic device to the base station. At step 212 j, RRCreconfiguration with the SCG addition is transmitted by the base stationto the electronic device. Accordingly, at step 212 k, data transferbetween the electronic device and the next-generation base station isperformed. At step 212 l, the electronic device moves to the NR celledge area. At step 212 m, due to the poor NR RLF signal, the NR RLF mayoccur. Accordingly, there is a frequent NR as the SCG addition occursand frequent NR RLF in a short duration, which tends to consumeexcessive power in the electronic device.

FIG. 2E illustrates a conventional method in which there is frequent NRsync failure or NR random access channel (RACH) failure. At step 214 a,the RRC is in connected state with the LTE network. At step 214 b, RRCreconfiguration with NR measurement object is transmitted by the basestation to the electronic device. At step 214 c, the B1-NR measurementreport with NR cell is transmitted by the electronic device to the basestation. At step 214 d, RRC reconfiguration with the SCG addition istransmitted by the base station to the electronic device. At step 214 e,a NR cell search failure or NR RACH failure may occur. As a result, atstep 214 f, the B1-NR measurement report with the NR cell is transmittedby the electronic device to the base station. At step 214 g, RRCreconfiguration with the SCG addition is transmitted by the base stationto the electronic device. At step 214 h, a NR cell search failure or NRRACH failure may re-occur. As a result, at step 214 i, the B1-NRmeasurement report with the NR cell is re-transmitted by the electronicdevice to the base station. At step 214 j, RRC reconfiguration with theSCG addition is transmitted by the base station to the electronicdevice. At step 214 k, a NR cell search failure or NR RACH failure mayoccur. Accordingly, there is a frequent NR as the SCG addition occursand frequent NR cell search or NR RACH failure in a short duration,which tends to consume excessive power in the electronic device.

Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a method and a system thateliminate such excessive and unnecessary power consumption by anelectronic device in NR communication.

FIG. 3 illustrates architecture 300 for managing NR communication in anelectronic device according to an embodiment.

The architecture 300 includes an electronic device 302, a networkmanagement system 304 associated with the electronic device 302, a basestation 306 (eNB), a gNB 308, and an EPC 310. The network managementsystem 304 may be configured within the electronic device 302. Theelectronic device 302 may include, but is not limited to, a mobilephone, a cellular phone, a smartphone, a tablet, a phablet, asmartwatch, a laptop, a notebook, an e-reader, and the like. The networkmanagement system 304 may be associated with the electronic device 302via a communication network. The communication network may be at leastone of a wired communication network and a wireless communicationnetwork. The EPC 310 further includes a mobility management entity (MME)312, a PDN gateway (PGW) 314, and an SGW 316. The base station 306 maycommunicate with the MME 312 and/or SGW 316 via a signalling interface.The base station 306 may communicate with the next generation basestation 308 via a network interface. The EPC 310 determines whether theelectronic device 302 is authorized for DC access during an attachprocedure. The EPC 310 may be responsible for providing converged voiceand data on a 4G LTE network. The EPC 310 may also support the switchingof bearers between the base station 306 and the next-generation basestation 308. The MME 312 may be responsible for managing session statesand authenticates and tracks the electronic device 302 across networkcoverage of the base station 306. The PGW 314 may act as an interfacebetween the base station 306 and the next-generation base station 308and may manage quality of service (QoS). The SGW 316 may be responsiblefor routing data packets to the electronic device 302 through the basestation 306.

The network management system 304 may include a processor 318, aninput/output (I/O) interface 320 and a memory 322. The I/O interface 320may be configured to receive inputs such as turn-off mobile data,turn-on mobile data, connect/disconnect to a Wi-Fi network, and performVoLTE call, from a user of the electronic device 302. The networkmanagement system 304 may determine a minimal mobile data activity andno mobile data activity in the electronic device 302 based oninformation from at least one of a packet data convergence protocol(PDCP) entity in the electronic device 302, a medium access controllayer-buffer status report (MAC-BSR) of the electronic device 302, andthe like.

The network management system 304 associated with the electronic device302 is configured to receive from the base station 306, a configurationinformation for an event B1-NR measurement. The configurationinformation may indicate a trigger threshold value for triggering theelectronic device 302 to transmit a B1-NR measurement report. Theconfiguration information, such as an RRC connection reconfigurationmessage, may include information on type of event the electronic device302 has to report and information type of measurements to perform B1-NRmeasurements.

The B1-NR measurement report is requested by the base station 306 fromthe electronic device 302 for adding an NR as an SCG to the electronicdevice 302, if the electronic device 302 attaches to the base station306 as an EUTRA NR-DC (EN-DC) capable electronic device 302. Based onreceiving the configuration information for the event B1-NR measurementfrom the base station 306, the network management system 304 isconfigured to periodically monitor at least one condition of theelectronic device 302. The at least one condition of the electronicdevice 302 includes at least one of, but not limited to, no mobile dataactivity, minimal mobile data activity, disabled mobile data, connectionto a Wi-Fi network, and frequent NR connection failure during additionof the SCG. The frequent NR connection failure includes at least one of,but not limited to, NR RLF, NR synchronization failure, NR RACH failure,and sending NR measurement report without NR measurements to the basestation 306. Based on the monitoring, the network management system 304restricts at least one of an NR capability and NR measurements of theelectronic device 302, when the at least one condition of the electronicdevice 302 is satisfied. When the at least one condition of theelectronic device 302 is not satisfied, the network management system304 enables at least one of the NR capabilities and the NR measurementsof the electronic device 302. Once the NR capability and the NRmeasurements of the electronic device 302 are enabled, the networkmanagement system 304 is configured to send the B1-NR measurement reportto the base station 302 for adding the SCG.

Upon determining NR connection failure for a first time during theaddition of the SCG, the network management system 304 is configured todisable the NR capability of the electronic device for a firstpre-defined time. The first pre-defined time is iteratively increasedupon each subsequent NR connection failure. For example, the firstpre-defined time can be a duration of ‘X’ minute and after theexpiration of X minutes, the network management system 304 may enablethe NR capability of the electronic device 302. If the NR connectionfailure re-occurs, such as five NR connection failures occur in 1 minuteon the same NR cell, then the network management system 304 may disableNR capability of the electronic device 302, more aggressively for 2Xduration, as it determines that the NR connection failures are stillexisting in the same NR cell. Similarly, if NR connection failurescontinues, then the NR capability of the electronic device 302 isdisabled for 3X duration and then 4X, and so on. The network managementsystem 304 is configured to restrict the NR measurements, thereby theB1-NR measurement report is not transmitted to the base station 306, andin response, the NR is not added as the SCG by the base station 306.

The network management system 304 is configured to disable the NRcapability of the electronic device 302 for a first pre-defined timeupon determining for the first time, at least one of, the mobile data isdisabled, there is no mobile data activity, there is minimal mobile dataactivity, and there is a connection to a Wi-Fi network. The firstpre-defined time is iteratively increased upon each determination of atleast one of the mobile data being disabled, no mobile data activity,minimal mobile data activity, and the connection to the Wi-Fi network.The network management system 304 is configured to determine whether theSCG associated with the NR is already added by the base station 306 viathe next generation base station 308. To cause the base station 306 torelease the already added SCG, the network management system 304determines whether a configuration information for an event A2-NRmeasurement is received from the next generation base station 308. Theevent A2 is triggered for NR cell measurement and is configured orconfiguration information is sent to the electronic device, by the nextgeneration base station 308. The event A2-NR measurement is configuredto monitor the condition of the NR serving cell. When the A2-NR eventcriteria is met then, it implies that measurement values of the NRserving cell has become less than configured threshold. Based on theA2-NR measurement report from the electronic device 302, the nextgeneration base station 308 can decide to release serving cell orconfigures other NR events such as A3 (measurement values of Neighborcell becomes offset better than measurement values of serving cell) orA5 (Serving becomes worse than threshold 1 and neighbor becomes betterthan threshold 2). If the configuration information for an event A2-NRmeasurement is received from the next generation base station 308, thenetwork management system 304 is configured to send a poor NR cellmeasurement in A2-NR measurement report to the next generation basestation 308. If the configuration information for the event A2-NRmeasurement is not received from the next generation base station 308,and if the SCG is not released by the next generation base station 308,network management system 304 is configured to notify the nextgeneration base station 308, regarding the disabled NR capability of theelectronic device 302 along with an indication of the SCG failure,causing the next generation base station 308 to release the alreadyadded SCG. Furthermore, the network management system 304 is configuredto restrict the NR measurements. As such, the B1-NR measurement reportis not transmitted to the base station 306, and in response, the NR isnot added as the SCG by the base station 306.

The network management system 304 may be further configured to configuremultiple NR frequencies for the event B1-NR measurement. The networkmanagement system 304 is configured to restrict the NR measurements forat least of, at least one NR frequency of the multiple frequencies andat least one NR cell with frequent NR connection failure.

At step 702, the electronic device 302 is in RRC connected mode withbase station 306. At step 704, the base station 306 transmitsconfiguration information for event B1-NR measurement to the electronicdevice 302. A counter for a report transmission count, a wait timer towait for a first predefined time, a timer to watch a second pre-definedtime (‘Y’ minutes), an iterative factor ‘X’ is assigned by the networkmanagement system 304 and reset to zero. At step 706, the electronicdevice 302 performs B1-NR measurements. At step 708, the electronicdevice 302 determines whether the B1 criteria is met for the NR cell.The base station 306 indicates a trigger threshold value for triggeringthe electronic device to transmit a B1-NR measurement report. Based onthe trigger threshold value, the electronic device 302 determineswhether the B1 criteria are met for the NR cell. At step 710, the B1-NRmeasurement report is transmitted to the base station 306, if the B1criteria is met for the NR cell, and if the criteria for the NR cell isnot met, step 706 is repeated. If the B1-NR measurement report istransmitted to the base station 306, the counter for the reporttransmission count is incremented by ‘1’.

At step 712, the electronic device 302 via the network management system304 determines whether the base station 306 has configured the NR SCG.If the base station 306 has configured NR SCG at step 712, then at step716, the NR SCG is added. If the NR SCG is not configured, then at step714, the counter for the report transmission count is compared with apre-defined count, such as a 5 count, and the timer is compared with thesecond pre-defined time, such as Y minutes. If the pre-defined count andthe second pre-defined time is less than the 5 count and Y minutesrespectively, step 706 is repeated. If the pre-defined count and thesecond pre-defined time is greater than the 5 count and Y minutesrespectively, at step 718, the NR capability of the electronic device302 is disabled for the wait timer of the first predefined time. Thewait timer may be iteratively increased if the B1-NR measurement reportis transmitted for greater than 5 counts for more than two or more times(i.e. 10 or more reports) or the timer is expired more than once(greater than Y minutes) after receiving event B1-NR configuration.

At step 720, the electronic device 302 via the network management system304 determines whether the wait timer has expired. If the wait timer hasexpired, step 706 is repeated, and if not, at step 722, the networkmanagement system 304 determines whether the new NR cell is configuredby the base station 306. At step 724, the counter for the reporttransmission count, wait timer to wait for the first predefined time,the timer to watch the second pre-defined time (‘Y’ minutes), and theiterative factor ‘X’ are reset to zero by the network management system304, if the new NR cell is configured, and step 706 is repeated toperform B1-NR measurement and to add the SCG.

At step 738, the electronic device 302 determines whetherthe B1 criteria is met for the NR cell. The base station 306 indicates atrigger threshold value for triggering the electronic device 302 totransmit a B1-NR measurement report.

At step 744, the electronic device 302 via thenetwork management system 304 determines whether the electronic device302 is in LTE or NR cell edge area. At step 746, the electronic device302 continues with LTE as the MCG and the NR as the SCG, if theelectronic device 302 is not in LTE or an NR cell edge area. At step748, the network management system 304 may increase the transmissionpower of an LTE communication with respect to the transmission power ofNR communication for VoLTE continuity, if the electronic device 302 isin LTE or the NR cell edge area. For example, the transmission power ofLTE communication is increased to A % or more and the transmission powerof LTE communication is B or less. At step 750, the NR RLF is monitored,since the LTE communication is provided with greater transmission powerthan the NR transmission power. A counter for an NR RLF count and atimer for an NR RLF time is assigned and incremented by ‘1’ and a timerfor NR RLF is assigned and incremented as 1 minute by the networkmanagement system 304, if the NR RLF is encountered at step 750. At step752, it is determine whether the NR RLF failure count is less than apre-defined count, such as a 5 count, and it is determined whether theNR RLF failure time is less than a second pre-defined time, such as Yminutes. The pre-defined count of count 5 is an example, however, andmay be any number of counts as required. If the NR RLF failure time andthe NR RLF failure time is determined to be less than the pre-definedcount and second pre-defined time respectively, step 736 is repeated toperform B1-NR measurements. At step 754, the NR capability of theelectronic device 302 is disabled for the wait timer of the firstpredefined time. The wait timer may be iteratively increased if theB1-NR measurement report is transmitted for greater than 5 counts formore than two times (i.e. 10 or more reports) or the timer is expiredmore than once (greater than Y minutes) after receiving event B1-NRconfiguration. At step 756, the electronic device 302 via the networkmanagement system 304 determines whether the wait timer has expired. Ifthe wait timer has expired, step 736 is repeated, and if not, at step758, the network management system 304 determines whether the new NRcell is configured by the base station 306. At step 760, the networkmanagement system 304 waits for wait timer expiration, if the new NRcell is not configured. At step 762, the counter for the reporttransmission count, wait timer to wait for the first predefined time,the timer to watch the second pre-defined time (‘Y’ minutes), and theiterative factor ‘X’ are reset to zero by the network management system304, if the new NR cell is configured, and step 706 is repeated to addthe SCG.

A counter for a report transmission count, a wait timer towait for a first predefined time, a timer to watch a second pre-definedtime (‘Y’ minutes), an iterative factor ‘X’ is assigned by the networkmanagement system 304 and reset to zero. At step 776, the electronicdevice 302 performs B1-NR measurements. At step 778, the electronicdevice 302 determines whether the B1 criteria are met for the NR cell.The base station 306 indicates a trigger threshold value for triggeringthe electronic device to transmit a B1-NR measurement report. Based onthe trigger threshold value, the electronic device 302 determineswhether the B1 criteria is met for the NR cell. At step 780, the B1-NRmeasurement report is transmitted to the base station 306, if the B1criteria is met for the NR cell, and if not, step 776 is repeated toperform B1-NR measurements. At step 782, the RRC reconfiguration withthe SCG is added to the electronic device 302 by the base station 306and a pre-defined count for report transmission count is incremented by‘1’. At step 784, the electronic device 302 via the network managementsystem 304 monitors to determine whether there is NR synchronizationfailure or NR RACH failure. At step 786, the SCG is added by the basestation 306, if there is no NR synchronization failure or NR RACHfailure. At step 788, the counter for the report transmission count iscompared with a pre-defined count, such as 5 counts, and the timer iscompared with the second pre-defined time, such as Y minutes. Thepre-defined count of count 5 is for exemplary purpose, however, thepre-defined count can be any number of counts as required. If thepre-defined count and the second pre-defined time is lesser than 5 countand Y mins respectively, then the step 776 is repeated. At step 790, theNR capability of the electronic device 302 is disabled for wait timer ofthe first predefined time if pre-defined count and the secondpre-defined time is greater than 5 count and Y mins respectively. Thewait timer may be iteratively increased if the B1-NR measurement reportis transmitted greater than 5 counts for more than two or more times(i.e. 10 or more reports) or the timer is expired more than once(greater than Y minutes) after receiving event B1-NR configuration. Atstep 792, the electronic device 302 via the network management system304 determines whether the wait timer has expired. If the wait timer hasexpired, step 776 is repeated. At step 794, the network managementsystem 304 determines whether the new NR cell is configured by the basestation 306. At step 796, the method waits for expiration of the waittimer, if the new NR cell is not configured. At step 798, the counterfor the report transmission count, wait timer to wait for the firstpredefined time, the timer to watch the second pre-defined time (‘Y’minutes), and the iterative factor ‘X’ are reset to zero by the networkmanagement system 304, if the new NR cell is configured, and step 776 isrepeated to perform NR measurements and in turn, add the SCG.
